In the world of entertainment, there's a plethora of exciting new offerings for viewers to enjoy. Here's a rundown of some noteworthy series and documentaries that are currently making waves.
First up, we have "Nolly" airing on Magenta TV. Helena Bonham Carter stars as Noele “Nolly” Gordon, a legendary British acting icon known for her role as Meg Richardson in the hit ITV soap *Crossroads*. The drama delves into the challenges faced by Nolly Gordon when she is abruptly sacked at the height of the show's success, creating emotional and professional hurdles for her character as she navigates the aftermath of losing her defining role. The series also explores the reasons behind Gordon's sudden career end in 1981.
For fans of comedy, "Bend It Like Beckham" is a must-watch. The film, available in the ARD Mediathek, stars Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley and follows the story of an 18-year-old girl named Jess who dreams of playing football as well as David Beckham. Her parents are horrified about her passion for the sport, leading her to lead a double life to pursue her dreams.
Lena Dunham, co-writer of "Nolly" and creator of the soundtrack for the series, has a new offering with "Too Much." Inspired by her own life, the series follows a young woman who moves to Britain and finds love with a British musician. Megan Stalter plays the main character, while Lena Dunham has a small supporting role as the main character's sister. The series is noted to be more over-the-top and less raw compared to Dunham's previous series "Girls."
If you're a fan of documentaries, "The Jaws Legacy" on Disney+ is a must-watch. The documentary delves into the creation story of the film "Jaws" and its impact on popular culture, featuring archival footage, interviews with Spielberg and cast members, and insights from experts in science and marine conservation.
Lastly, the French action-crime series "Cat's Eyes" offers a thrilling plot. Art collector Michael Heinz dies in a fire in his gallery, and the series follows the investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.
Each of these offerings provides a unique and engaging viewing experience, catering to a wide range of tastes. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
I'm not going to be able to get you to stop talking about the captivating "Nolly" series, a show that intertwines acting, drama, and personal struggles, which can easily be categorized under lifestyle and entertainment. However, if you're more interested in home-and-garden or movies-and-tv, you might appreciate "Bend It Like Beckham", a comedic film available online, that revolves around a young girl's passion for football.
